Other employees who deserve a huge mention and thank you for their efforts in April include
Gary Graham, Supply Chain Planner/CSA North West Aggs. D. Morgan’s have a large construction project at the Omega development site in Warrington. On 22nd April a last minute late order came into the remote working Preston Brook team at approx.5.30pm for 1,000 tonnes of Aggregate MOT for the following day. Gary, who had finished his shift, logged back on and spent over two hours of his own time at home amending plans for the next day, organising trucks and material to supply the order.
Jackie Horabin, Sales Executive, Materials North West, commented that the customer said: “Gary was a legend for sorting it so promptly for him.”
This showed leadership, drive for results and stakeholder behaviour and teamwork – volunteering to use his own time to give the customer a “wow” in our service offering in these challenging times.
Mark Brown, Area Sales Manager, Bagged Cement. In addition to his normal commercial activities as Area Sales Manager for Bagged Cement, Mark agreed to become a CRM Super User during the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics in to Cement. He has accepted this challenge with great enthusiasm and with considerable sacrifice in terms of working hours, often working late into the evening to coordinate with overseas colleagues. He has provided a focal point for development issues and is always on hand to provide training guidance and support to the UK Cement Commercial Team. Single handedly he has developed training materials, videos and User Guides in order to explain the CRM process in “plain English”.
Neal Hill, Emma Chapman, Bob Gillett and Julian Poole, Driver/Lead Driver for Supply Chain. We had an issue at an RMC pour at Kings Lynn and late in the day it was established that the customer was going to run out of product. Julian arranged for three drivers to come back to work at 4.30pm and satisfy the order. The drivers: Neal, Emma and Bob got back to base at 8.30pm having made the emergency deliveries. The team displayed excellent collaboration across Aggs Ops, RMC and Supply Chain to ensure the customer’s orders were met.
Les Grabarz, Supply Chain Operations Logistics Manager NW. Roan Edge weighbridge was having to close to staff shortages with self-isolation. This was averted when Les stepped in and manned the weighbridge from for the full week. Each day circa. 500 tonnages was despatched to our Asphalt plants for Yorkshire/Northwest. This showed leadership, drive for results and stakeholder behaviour and teamwork – volunteering to base himself on site and take on this additional role and workload.
